Chapter 366: Rout
Today was supposed to be the day of honor for His Excellency Dabin in more than 40 years of life, and for the first time, he took command of an army of more than 2,000 men, divided into three starting positions, armed with armored vehicles and large-caliber artillery, and coordinated to attack the recalcitrant enemy entrenched in the city. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
His Excellency Dabin felt that he was going to become famous in the first battle, and thus embarked on the path of a world-famous general - anyway, the world was already rotten, and he could be regarded as a famous general for this little victory!
However, this enemy did not play his cards according to the routine -- His Excellency Dabin felt that this was an incomparably magnificent 'large-depth armored assault tactic,' and who knew that the enemy would actually engage in 'air-ground integrated and coordinated operations.'
"Air defense car, quickly pull the air defense car over." In the chaotic battlefield, guns and cannons rang out, and the heart-rending shouts of General Dabin rang out in the noisy environment. He pushed away several soldiers who were running around and stumbled in front of several eight-wheeled, double-barreled, 37-millimeter anti-aircraft combat vehicles.
This was originally an assembled weapon that the Cuban People's Army had spent its days digging up, and the only thing General Dabin could count on now was it. It has world-class anti-electronic interference capabilities -- it can't be first-class, people don't have electronic devices at all, and it's purely aimed at the human eye.
Five anti-aircraft combat vehicles were originally intended to be used for flat fire to demolish houses, and the double-barreled 37-mm anti-aircraft guns were no less powerful. But now the bad luck is that there are only two car crews at the post, and one of the car crews still wants to escape.
A few shots rang out, and Dabin killed two people on the spot, shouting, "Immediately start shooting in the air and shoot down that plane." ”
At a distance of more than a thousand meters, the double-barreled 37-mm anti-aircraft gun still poses a mortal threat to the AC-130U. When the anti-aircraft tracer projectile flew into the sky, the crew members were immediately startled and immediately climbed away.
Watching the gunboat slowly disappear in the air, General Dabin, who was sweating profusely, breathed a sigh of relief. But looking at the camp that was beaten and smoked everywhere, he really wanted to cry.
The opponent obviously came by boat, why didn't he run out of a plane coldly? And it's also the AC-130 family, which specializes in bullying people. The 105mm howitzer on it had just fired more than 20 rounds on the ground, and hundreds of people in the camp were blown up and had nowhere to escape.
"Regroup the soldiers, and the enemy is likely to launch a ground attack." General Dabin is completely on his own to keep the entire battlefield from collapsing. He hurried back to his command tent and captured all his staff officers and officers to rearrange the defensive line.
Now don't talk about attacking, just be able to stabilize the front and defend.
But this kind of good opportunity to beat the water dog, if Zhou Qingfeng doesn't seize it, it will be strange. The butcher brought him not only grain and pot camel machines, but also two M120 heavy mortars of 120 mm caliber. Two newly formed artillery crews continued their shelling of General Dabin's camp five kilometers away.
Nieto, who was climbing in the tree, was no longer directing the target for the air strike, and he just watched as Master Chief Richard next to him corrected the landing point of the shells. With the excellent work of their artillery observation point, the enemy on the opposite side was once again blown up.
In addition to the artillery bombardment, Zhou Qingfeng also dispatched a crack assault convoy to attack the enemy. The butcher personally commanded the battle in a fire assault vehicle. More than a dozen heavy machine guns fired back and forth at close range, which made General Dabin's situation even worse.
In just a few minutes, the butcher smashed General Dabin's defense line into thousands of holes, leaving hundreds of corpses scattered by the other side. Dabin's camp was set up near a small town, and now he had to enter the town with his men, relying on various buildings to set up defenses.
"Let the soldiers of the other two attacking positions converge with us." Under the huge casualties, Dabin, who commanded the battle, was irritated and red-eyed. Seeing the platoon full of people being defeated one by one, and seeing the smell of flesh and blood all over the ground, although he was angry, he still wanted to reorganize the team to continue to resist.
In order to meet the friendly forces, two anti-aircraft combat vehicles armed with 37-mm anti-aircraft guns were ordered to rush out of the town's defense line and drive away the butcher detachment that was harassing the attacking outside.
This desperate counterattack became the only bright spot in this battle. At this moment, the AC-130U is still hovering in the air, but it is far away and cannot be immediately supported. An anti-aircraft combat vehicle with a certain amount of armor has an overwhelming advantage over a lightweight fire assault vehicle.
The armored dog fight on the battlefield broke out extremely suddenly, Zhou Qingfeng saw the air defense vehicle rushing out of the town on the video of the drone, and immediately shouted to the butcher fighting in front of him on the radio: "Disperse, there are armored vehicles chasing after your ass." ”
When the eight-wheeled anti-aircraft combat vehicle appeared on the battlefield, the thirty-seven-mm anti-aircraft guns rang out with a tom-tom shelling. There are always one or two unlucky ones among the fleeing fire assault vehicles, and the explosion that was hit by this artillery shot caught fire.
"Yes, yes, that's it." Dabin couldn't believe that he had succeeded, and the two destroyed fire assault vehicles seemed to inject him with a booster, and he shouted at his officers: "See, this is how to fight." Concentrate the armor and use it. ”
Dabin endured long-range shelling from an AC-130U and two heavy mortars while refocusing the forces he had. He still decided to attack the city of Matanzas by means of armor shock, and drive the enemy into the sea even if he paid a certain amount of losses.
But it didn't work, the commander wanted to attack, but the soldiers didn't do it. The whole organizational process was a disaster, no one wanted to be shelled and assemble at the same time, and a large number of people fled, and even the Overseer team could not stop it.
When an anti-aircraft combat vehicle was set on fire by a Javelin anti-tank missile fired from a distance, the hundreds of people who had been gathered with great difficulty dispersed. Dabin found that he could no longer restrain his troops, and he could not even control the officers. No matter how hard he tries, when there is no one around him, he can only cry in vain.
The offensive turned into a rout, and everyone was fleeing for their lives in panic. Only those who flee the fastest and the farthest will be saved from death. And for the defeated side, the enemy's pursuit is an even more deadly threat.
When anti-aircraft fire also became paralyzed, the AC-130U began to fly unscrupulously at low altitudes. It floated at a height of several hundred meters, and with ferocious fire, it drove bloody alleys into the ground. It even pursued it all the way to Havana, until it ran back when it met the enemy's 100-millimeter anti-aircraft artillery fire.
The butcher's assault convoy also caught up, pursuing more than 20 kilometers all the way to expand the results of the battle, like a sharp knife stabbing back and forth on the enemy's body. Due to the extremely high mobility of the fire assault vehicles, this led to the fact that the enemy did not dare to flee along the roads and could only run around the fields and forests.
In the cold weather with little food and clothing, many people did not have the ability to survive in the wild, and a large number of people froze to death after one night. The enemy's crushing defeat forged Zhou Qingfeng's prestige, and this battle allowed him to gain a firm foothold in Matanzas, and for the time being, he didn't have to worry that the enemies of Havana would come to trouble him again.
